UW Libraries Research Communication and Equity Fellowship Reception
Join us to celebrate the academic and creative work of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) graduate students. Each Fellow has created a physical artifact that visually communicates their research. These artifacts take many forms: posters, artwork, visualizations, etc. Students come from across the UW Seattle campus in programs from feminist studies to public health.
All artifacts will be displayed physically in the UW Libraries Research Commons starting in May 2024. Please join us for a reception celebrating the Fellowship at 2 PM on May 9th in Green A in the Research Commons.

Going Public: OpEd Writing Workshop
Since 2017, the Libraries and the eScience Institute have partnered to offer the successful Going Public Symposium--an interdisciplinary, tri-campus event designed to build skills in translating and communicating research findings to wider audiences and co-creating knowledge with community partners. For this year’s Going Public event, we will focus on translating research into public opinion pieces for news organizations.
The Scholars Strategy Network (SSN) will lead a 90 minute, online workshop for anyone who wants to learn how to write and pitch compelling, research-based op-eds. Participants will learn how to craft a good lede, identify and incorporate timely news hooks, signal the author’s unique and relevant expertise, increase the likelihood of publication, and structure an op-ed for maximum impact. Participants will also have the opportunity to workshop specific ideas with SSN staff and fellow participants.
Event interval: Single day event. Accessibility Contact: vkern@uw.edu. Event Types: Workshops. Target Audience: UW Community.
